Definition of sarcopenia and cut-off values based on the revised and updated EWGSOP2 consensus

Definition	Outcome	Cut-off values
		Male	Female
Probable sarcopenia	Low muscle strength: measured by hydraulic hand dynamometer	<27 kg	<16 kg
Sarcopenia	Low muscle strength AND
	Low lean mass: measured by DXA	<7.0 kg·m⁻²	<5.5 kg·m⁻²
Severe sarcopenia	Low muscle strength AND low lean mass AND
	Low physical performance: measured by gait speed or	≤0.8 m·s⁻¹	≤0.8 m·s⁻¹
	Timed Up and Go Test	≥20 s	≥20 s
